Getting a bikini that fits well is essential to making you feel comfortable on stage and, in some cases, can contribute to your overall placing. Get it right, and your bikini can accent your shape and finish off the look you’ve worked so hard to achieve. However, buying a bikini doesn’t come cheap, so it’s worth doing your research to make sure you’re confident in the supplier and design you’ve chosen.
Bear in mind, different federations can have different expectations for bikini design, but a good designer will be able to guide you through this, alongside providing help with sizing, colour and accessories.
Browse our list of UK suppliers, get in contact with the designers to make sure you’re happy with what they are offering, and then make your decision.
